Hi m_wylie85,

A quick idea that came to my mind is to use java-script to capture the button's click event and based on the buttons id or name send a query string to the next page. On the next page read the incoming Query string and based on that load the appropriate text or object that you require.

You can also wrap each button in a different form tag and each from will post to a different page with different text. Or use the form tag again but with the above concept of sending a post value to the next page and based on that post value load your text.

HI cdpace that has helped a lot. I have never wrote in java-script before for someone new to it would "send a query string to the next page" be hard? also do you know of any good example on how to do it?.
